Summary: Good overview with lots of information
Review: My son starting displaying tics, so I went to the library in
search of information. This book looked good, so I took it
home and read it. I found it very readable and informative.
I believe the author is not a medical expert, which normally
would make me skeptical of the information, but in this case
the book seems very well researched and reasonable. I like it.
The text includes frequent quotes from people with TS, their
parents, and others, which I found helpful and reassuring.
I haven't read enough TS books to really say how this
one compares to others, but I don't think anyone who buys
this book will be disappointed.FYI, after reading this book, I was convinced my son did
in fact have Tourettes, so I took him to a neurologist, and
it was confirmed. I felt the book had prepared me well for
everything the neurologist told me.
